(travelling home on the tram after writing previous post, in the amazing State Library of Victoria.
thinking about dogs and wolves, from the French, Entre Chien et Loup, the hour between dog and wolf. Dusk or twilight, or metaphorically the time between the familiar and the much less familiar….
out of the corner of my eye I noticed a young couple playing with a puppy, in one of their coat pockets.
but on closer inspection, that was no puppy, dog, or even a little wolf.
It was a *ferret*. (little weasel, polecat creature, not the sort of thing you’d want in a pocket, or on a crowded conveyance)
now what’s the probability of That?
